Create a php page-template

[jdunhin]

Want to share some code that I used in my new Wordpress plugin. Maybe you can get something out of it.

It is about creating a page-template.php and insert the necessary code in that page to make it one of the templates to use on a page.

Create page:

<?php
$FileName = "example.php" ;
$FileHandle = fopen($FileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($FileHandle);
?>

Insert code into the new page:

<?php
$filename = "example.php";
$content = '<?php' . ' get_header(); ?>'
      . "\r\n\r\n"
      . '<div id="main_content" class="clearfix">'
      . "\r\n\r\n"
      . '<div id="left_area">'
      . "\r\n\r\n"
      . '<div id="sidebar-tuisblad" class="sidebar">'
      . "\r\n\r\n"
      . '<?php dynamic_sidebar'
      . '("' . $variable. '");'
	  . "\r\n\r\n"
      . '?> </div> </div> '
      . "\r\n\r\n"
      . '<?php get_sidebar();'
      . "\r\n\r\n"
      . ' ?> </div>'
      . "\r\n\r\n"
      . '<?php get_footer();'
      . "\r\n\r\n"
      . '?>';	  


if (is_writable($filename)) {

    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
        echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }

    echo "Success, wrote ($content) to file ($filename)";

    fclose($handle);
	
} else {
    echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}

?>
